This week we will learn about the parts and proper use of the microscope. We are fortunate to have several types of microscopes that we will be able to use for hands-on experiences! We will also "grow"" bacteria using potato slices that have been swabbed from various surfaces around the school. The potato slices will be sealed in baggies for observation. What are your predictions?
Vocabulary for the week (Test on Friday)
eyepiece
body tube
revolving nose piece
objective lens
stage clips
diaphragm
light source
arm
stage
focus
base
I would like students to use their three ring vocabulary binder for all of our science work rather than the spiral. We hopefully won't lose or misplace things as easily! Thank you - if you do not have a three-ring binder, please get one!
